Official Briton Nikora

Yes and yes. It's not a big deal btw, just how I feel about it.
Yeah that's what I thought.

I reckon with the benefit of TV angles and multiple replays it looks bad knowing it was a head knock.

In the moment I think if you win a physical battle over your opponent you've earned the right to give him some stick.

How many tackles did you want him to make?
Exactly 5 more.
 
Yeah that's what I thought.

Yeah that's fair enough, it does happen very quickly.
 
So, does Brit miss any games, if so, how long?
I’m expecting him to miss something, hopefully it’s only a week.
For what reason?

For the raised forearm? Why would he?
When Ponga obliterated Koulas head and got no weeks?

For headknock? Maybe? Depends how he pulls up

For fatigue, same answer as headknock
 
I think cause of the forearm, hope I’m wrong.
I’d be very surprised
Yeah nothing. Hits him with his wrist and then gets the bumpers up. Wouldn't have even been a penalty of the game hadn't stopped for Teddy and the red "PUNISH HIM" light didn't come on in the bunker.

Ponga only got a fine for game one.

Yeah I agree the stoppage then highlighted the arm otherwise it gets ignored 95% of the time
 
I loved it when he had a head clash with Teddy, saw that he was concussed and screamed at him in victory!.

I thought that penalty for a forearm was a bit rough. It's like the officials thought as Teddy was hurt there must be some kind of penalty
Thought it completely warranted.

Didnt just raise it, lead with it and hit the guy in the head

Raised, lead and hit in the head with his wrist? Players go into contact with the bumpers up way worse than that all the time. Since when isn’t the ballcarrier allowed to all but murder the defender anyway – when Teddy is KO’d in the background apparently.

I know... a Kiwi comes into Origin and reminds us all of how it's played and everyone's up in arms about it
